Buried Belief
  • “If I look at my finances, I will feel ashamed.”
  • “I am not safe with money.”
  • “I cannot handle financial responsibility.”
  • “Money exposes my failure.”
  • “If I charge more, people will reject me.”
  • “If I succeed financially, I will be judged, used, or responsible for more.”
  • “I am not worthy of receiving more.”
  • “Financial truth will expose me.”
Hard-to-Go Place

Facing money honestly: income, debt, spending, pricing, taxes, responsibility, value, fear of lack, fear of success, and fear of being seen.

Next Step

Look at one financial truth directly. Do not solve everything. Just stop hiding from the number, decision, or responsibility.
